Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code covers the emerging and evolving field of "live forensics," where investigators examine a computer system to collect and preserve critical live data that may be lost if the system is shut down. Unlike other forensic texts that discuss ?live forensics? on a particular operating system, or in a generic context, this book emphasizes a live forensics and evidence collection methodology on both Windows and Linux operating systems in the context of identifying and capturing malicious code and evidence of its effect on the compromised system.
Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code also devotes extensive coverage of the burgeoning forensic field of physical and process memory analysis on both Windows and Linux platforms. This book provides clear and concise guidance as to how to forensically capture and examine physical and process memory as a key investigative step in malicious code forensics.
Prior to this book, competing texts have described malicious code, accounted for its evolutionary history, and in some instances, dedicated a mere chapter or two to analyzing malicious code. Conversely, Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code emphasizes the practical ?how-to? aspect of malicious code investigation, giving deep coverage on the design of a malicious code analysis lab, the tools and techniques of conducting runtime behavioral malware analysis (such as file, registry, network and port monitoring) and static code analysis (such as file identification and profiling, strings discovery, armoring/packing detection, disassembling, debugging), and more.
After learning the tools and techniques covered in the book?s earlier chapters, the final chapters of Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code focus on using honeypots to collect malicious code in the wild and conducting technical profiling and threat assessment based upon malicious code analysis findings.

* Authors have investigated and prosecuted federal malware cases, which allows them to provide unparalleled insight to the reader.
* First book to detail how to perform ?live forensic? techniques on malicous code.
* Companion Web site provides working code for analysis.
* In addition to the technical topics discussed, this book also offers critical legal considerations addressing the legal ramifications and requirements governing the subject matter.

A gripping and powerful new thriller -- the debut of a stunning new voice in suspense fiction -- and the first appearance of a tough and remarkable investigator, pathologist, and forensic physician, Dr. Anya Crichton.

The only female freelancer in the male-dominated field, pathologist Dr. Anya Crichton will take any work she can find to pay child support and her mortgage, get her new business off the ground, and battle her ex-husband for custody of their three-year-old son. Things turn around rapidly, however, when her expert forensic evidence is instrumental in winning a high-profile case -- and new work offers start pouring in.

But Anya's investigation into the drug overdose of a young Lebanese girl is raising troubling questions. Startling coincidences between this sad and tragic death and a series of seemingly unrelated suicides that Anya is also examining at the urging of her friend and colleague, detective sergeant Kate Farrer, suggest that there's a monumental evil at work in the shadows. With each scalpel cut, Anya Crichton's forensic prowess and deductive brilliance are pulling her relentlessly toward a sinister plot and a devastating truth -- and once she enters the lethal darkness, she may never again see the light of day.

While physical and logical security disciplines are disparate, today's threats are such that they need to be addressed in tandem. Gone are the days when there was little to no communication between the IT and physical security staff. Fraud investigation, complex incident analysis, remediation and incident tracking are just a few of the areas where synergies between these groups can be leveraged.

Just as security has evolved from just the perimeter to now include strategies for insider threats, convergence is the next phase of evolution in enterprise-level security incident prevention, detection and management. The most extensible, scalable and robust solution for addressing this convergence is enterprise security management (ESM). The same capabilities ESM utilizes for correlation, anomaly detection, pattern discovery, reporting, investigation and remediation within the IT security realm can also be applied to and converged with, physical security solutions. Organizations are learning that operational efficiencies are amplified by convergence, yielding a positive impact on return on investment (ROI).

Additionally, they are finding that their overall security posture is improved by reducing risk and leading to a more solid return on security investment (ROSI). The global security climate has changed with terrorists, organized crime groups, nation-state threats and so forth. Organizations must continue to adapt to these trends with solutions and countermeasures that are capable of merging these disciplines. Enterprise security management (ESM) solutions can be the core for such convergence, thus allowing organizations to mitigate the risks in a holistic and efficient manner. Before the advent of ESM, convergence was brute force at best. Today, the technology is up to the challenge, and many organizations have already achieved success.
